First, I went to the website www.voki.com/ and clicked the orange Get Started button. Second, I chose which character I was going to use as a base. There are a lot of choices and I am a very indecisive person, this step was a bit hard for me but I settled for Marie Antoinette. I chose not to mess with her appearance but if I wanted to, I could customize her. Next, I gave her a voice. I entered text that gave a short description of myself. I also chose her accent to be Scottish. Afterwards, I changed the background to the night sky. With backgrounds, there will also be a lot of choices. Finally, I saved my Voki and named it Suzanne Drouilhet’s Voki.
The color wheel is a tool used by graphic designers. A color wheel clearly displays the relationships between different colors. Color wheels consist of the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Graphic designers use different colors to invoke different emotions; if a graphic designer wants the audience to feel happy, they would use bright colors, if they want the audience to feel sad, they would use darker colors. Color wheels also present color temperature and the colors of those temperatures.
The first color wheel has been attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, who in 1706 arranged red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet into a natural progression on a rotating disk. As the disk spins, the colors blur together so rapidly that the human eye sees white. Others also investigated this color wheel. A German writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, wrote a book titled ‘Theory of Colors’ which featured a color wheel of both primary and secondary colors. The book also contain what emotion different colors evoke.
Graffiti is writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed on a wall or other surface in a public place. Most graffitist make graffiti because they are bored and cannot think of anything productive to do. Some may do it illegally because they enjoy the adrenaline they get from running from the police if they get caught. Some may see graffiti as a bad thing while others see it as a way for people to express themselves. Graffiti can be beautiful or reckless but it always has a story behind it.
I made my digital graffiti by going to www.postergen.com and clicking Graffiti Creator. Then, I type my name and different words that describe me into the text box. You can choose different colors for the text, stroke, shadow, and outline. You can also change the font of the text. After that you choose the white background and click Generate. Once you save the picture, you can go the Photo Editor and remove the background before adding it to the PowerPoint you’re using. Just repeat this process for each word and then arrange them in the order you want on the PowerPoint.
Bipolar – I have not been to speak with a doctor but both of my parents are bipolar and there is a good chance I will be too. Not to mention my mood swings: I can go from excitably happy to depressed in a matter of minutes. It can be quite confusing.
Hilarious – My family and friends all get a kick out of my stories and jokes.
Neutral – When it comes to arguments on opinions, I usually like to stay out of it all. I just do not have time to bother stating my opinions over and over again. I might tell my friends that are arguing my opinions but I do not want a part in it. I would rather watch them battle it out and see who, in internet slang, gets ‘rekt’.
Spooky – I love Halloween and every day after August 1st is Halloween for me up to Thanksgiving Day.
Irregular – I’m not a normal person
Pterodactyl – I like to screech like a dinosaur
Persuasive Paper: T-Shirt Design Prompt
I think that we should be focusing on learning, not school spirit. Most students do not enjoy being forced to participate in school spirit activities such as pep-rallies. The only reason we may enjoy it is because it gets us out of class and we can get away with not doing any work. Some of us absolutely hate school and would prefer being able to get through with it as soon as possible. Forced school spirit isn’t spirit at all!
We could be studying and getting ready for upcoming tests and exams but we spend that extra time for school spirit. This is not right and I would like to see a change if possible. I doubt the school systems will change anything though, considering the facts. Schools seem to do as they please no matter how true the points are that students bring up.
I, myself, have tried bringing up valid points but they tell me that they know its problem and that they’re trying to deal with it. I never see any change though and I doubt it ever will.
Anime Script (Not Completed)
Scene One: (November 4, 1979 – 5:13PM; Metsada, Israel – Masada)
Group of Cultists: Exiting the Fortress of Masada and into a large outdoor banquet area. Hurriedly, they walk out to the balcony that looks out at the desert. They stop and file themselves into a neat row, standing shoulder to shoulder.
Male Cultist: Stepping forward from the group and walking towards the woman standing near the railing. (Eagerly) Mother Thurayya, Orion is high in the sky and the moon basks us in its heavenly glow... King Azazel is waiting.
Atara Thurayya: Turning on her heel, she walks past the Male Cultist and towards the others.
Group of Cultists: Parting to make a path for Mother Thurayya before following her in lines of two into the darkness. When they come to a stop, they begin lighting candles and placing them around the room.
Atara Thurayya: Standing before a large, stone statue of a goat. She places her hand on the flank of the animal. After a long while, a female cultist comes to her.
Female Cultist:(Softly) Everything is ready for us to begin, Mother…
Atara Thurayya: (Firmly) Good, we should start immediately; no need to keep everyone waiting.
Female Cultist: Bowing her head, backing away to join the others.
Atara Thurayya:Where is the Vessel?
Firas Moghadam: Coming into view, holding Latrell Delacroix bridal style in his arms.
Atara Thurayya: Walking towards Firas Moghadam and Latrell Delacroix before (gently) placing a hand on Latrell Delacroix’s forehead. (Concerned) How is he?
Firas Moghadam: (Sullen) Exhausted and physically weak; his fever still hasn’t broken.
Atara Thurayya: Will we be able to complete the summoning?
Firas Moghadam: We have to, or all is for naught.
Atara Thurayya: Nodding as she moves out of Firas Moghadam’s way.
Firas Moghadam: Passing by Mother Thurayya, walking towards the middle of the circle formed by the Unseen Alliance’s members. (Gently) Placing Latrell Delacroix down upon the floor before joining Khateeb Hamid near the statue of the goat.
Khateeb Hamid: Nodding his head as to address Firas Moghadam. Are you ready, Brother Moghadam?
Firas Moghadam: Nodding back at Khateeb Hamid. I’m nervous, but I am excited to start.
Khateeb Hamid: Good, and you Mother? Turning to look at Atara Thurayya.
Atara Thurayya: Standing before the altar table. Yes, I am ready to begin the Summoning.
Firas and Khateeb: Lighting matches and throwing them into the cast iron cauldrons set beside the statue, causing the incense and charcoal tablet inside to begin to burn.
Atara Thurayya: Join me in the meditation of Middle Pillar while we wait for a blazing fire. Breathing slowly as to start the Middle Pillar meditation.
Group of Cultists: Following Atara Thurayya in the meditation, breathing slowly in a rhythm together.
Together: (Chanting) Eheieh, Eheieh, Eheieh… Ykvk Elohim, Ykvk Elohim, Ykvk Elohim… Ykvk Eloah Ve-Daath, Ykvk Eloah Ve-Daath, Ykvk Eloah Ve-Daath… Shaddai El Chai, Shaddai El Chai, Shaddai El Chai… Adonai Ha Aretz, Adonai Ha Aretz, Adonai Ha Aretz…
Together: Turning to the south. Hail and welcome to you, Iblis, I summon you with the element of fire.
Together: Turning to the east. Hail and welcome to you, Azazel, I summon you with the element of air.
Together: Turning to the north. Hail and welcome to you, Amaimon, I summon you with the element of earth.
Together: Turning to the west. Hail and welcome to you, Egyn, I summon you with the element of water.
Khateeb Hamid: Bowing as he greets the elemental spirits. Our friend and companion of the night; thou who rejoicest in the baying of dogs and spilt blood. Thou who wanderest in the midst of the shade of the tombs, thou who longest for blood and bringest terror to mortals. Gorgo! Mormo! O thousand faced moon look favorably upon our sacrifices. Shem-ha-mforash!
Firas and Khateeb: Casting flash powder into the cauldrons causing a sudden outburst of flame and smoke to erupt from the cast iron containers.
Atara Thurayya: Securing a length of bronze chain around her ankle and one of the legs of the altar table. Zazas Zazas Nastanada Zazas! Open wide the Gates of Gehenna! Mighty One, Azazel, I evoke thee now, by name, sigil and deed, and by the ancient words known to and by thy true worshippers. Taking up three peacock feathers and fanning the smoke rising from the cauldrons.
Khateeb Hamid: (Loudly) Hail to Shaitan, who riseth forth from the pit of the Abyss, whose forms are manifold, whose creations are without number. Divine Ram, proud Lord hear me! Let your essence manifest in this temple I have prepared. Lend me your divine wisdom that I may gain power and the treasures you possess in your hands.
Atara Thurayya: Holding the three peacock feathers high so that they can be seen.Behold the sign of the Proud One!
Khateeb Hamid: (Loudly) Come forth! Melek Tawas! Come forth! Azazel! Come forth! Peacock God! Come forth! Iblis! Welcome and Hail, O Mighty Lord of Gehenna from the smoke of the pit of the Abyss, to this temple I now dedicate unto you. Motioning back towards Latrell Delacroix. A vessel for your power, terror and glory! I call upon the King that Magnifies Himself! Zodacare od Zodameranu!
Atara Thurayya: Hear now the Covenant and Pillars of Azazel and the names of the Dark Lords of the Abyss! Reading from a piece of tanned, fragile parchment. Samlazaz, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaqlel, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel! I honor thy Covenant made on Mount Hermon, I conjure forth the spirit of the Covenant of Azazel known as the Al Jilwah - The Black Book of Shaitan. Saith Azazel! BEHOLD!
Khateeb Hamid: I was, am now, and shall have no end. I exercise dominion over all creatures and over the affairs of all who are under the protection of my image. I am ever present to help all who trust in me and call upon me in time of need. I allow everyone to follow the dictates of his own nature, but he that opposes me will regret it sorely. No god has a right to interfere in my affairs, and I have made it an imperative rule that everyone shall refrain from worshiping all gods. I place my affairs in the hands of those whom I have tried and who are in accord with my desires. I appear in diverse manner to those who are faithful and under my command. All treasure and hidden things are known to me, and as I desire, I take them from one and bestow them on another. I reveal my wonders to those who seek them, and in due time my miracles to those who receive them from me. I have allowed the creation of four substances, four times, and four corners, because they are necessary things for creatures. It is my desire that all my followers shall unite in a bond of unity, lest those who are without prevail against them. Now, then, all ye who have followed my commandments and my teachings, reject all the teachings and sayings of such as are without. I have not taught these teachings, nor do they proceed from me.
Atara Thurayya: O ye that have believed in me, honor my symbol and my image, for they remind you of me. For indulgence sake, and every lustful, prideful purpose! I now freely inscribe my name upon the covenant and pillar of Azazel! I say - AYE! Taking up a feather quill and writing her name upon the parchment in black ink before ringing a small silver bell nine times.
Firas Moghadam: Lighting more incense and placing it around the statue.
Atara Thurayya: Turning to face her followers. We shall take a moment to meditate and focus on the image of the scapegoat.
Cultists: Moving towards to the altar with offerings of food while others remain standing, quietly meditating. A few individuals gather around Latrell Delacroix and give their respects to him by placing their hands upon him and saying silent praises.
Latrell Delacroix: Remaining mostly undisturbed by the gentle contact of his adoptive caretakers, his blue eyes open slightly.
Group of Cultists: Slowly noticing that Latrell Delacroix has awakened. Mother Thurayya, come quickly…
Atara Thurayya: Approaching the group and kneeling beside them. What is it, my children?
Male Cultist: Latrell... Glancing down at the young Frenchman. We think he may be awaking.
Atara Thurayya: Studying Latrell Delacroix’s face. Latrell, can you hear me, child?
Latrell Delacroix: Remaining silent, only parting his lips to draw a deep breath.
Atara Thurayya: …I believe he’s suffering from sleep paralysis; he should be fine, though he may be seeing us all as nightmarish creatures. Let us leave him to rest, children.
Group of Cultists: (In unison) Yes, Mother.
Atara Thurayya: Standing up before leaving the group to join Firas Moghadam and Khateeb Hamid.
Firas Moghadam: Holding out a silver chalice filled with Mateus wine for Atara Thurayya. How is the boy?
Atara Thurayya: Taking the silver chalice into her hands and drinking from it. He’s shaken, but he hasn’t waken.
Khateeb Hamid: Let’s just hope he stays like that; we can’t have him waking up and distracting us from the Summoning. I can’t imagine what could happen if we failed to complete it properly…
Atara Thurayya: We’d be tormented by evil spirits, possibly even killed.
Khateeb Hamid: (Sarcastically) Lovely.
Atara Thurayya: Yes, I would have to agree. Once again, drinking from the silver chalice. Brother Firas, light some Kyphi tablets before we start.
Firas Moghadam: Nodding. Yes, Sister Thurayya. Leaving to complete the task he has been given.
Khateeb Hamid: Waiting for Firas Moghadam to be out of earshot before speaking. …Are you sure you are strong enough to do this, Sister?
Atara Thurayya: No, but I will do it anyways.
Khateeb Hamid: Stubborn as always, I see. You have the spirit of a buffalo, the mind of a camel, but the heart of ewe. A strange though lovely mixture indeed.
Atara Thurayya: Thinking for a short moment. You’ll always be an owl in my eyes, Khateeb.
Khateeb Hamid: Laughing whole-heartedly. You haven’t changed at all from when you were younger! Oh, but that is why it is so good to stay by your side; I don’t have to worry about learning an entirely different person every time I see you.
Atara Thurayya: Yes, I learn much but it shall never change who I am as a person.
Khateeb Hamid: Shaking his head with a smile.
Firas Moghadam: Returning to them. Are we to continue? I worry for the health of the boy. Looking over his shoulder to glance at Latrell Delacroix.
Atara Thurayya: Yes, of course! You’ll have to excuse me, my mind has been wandering lately. Setting the chalice down upon a small stool before addressing her followers with a raised voice. We shall complete the Summoning soon so prepare yourself, my children.
Game name: Ghostfacers
Number of players: Five
Age range: 10+
Time: Varies
Main objective: Kill the ghostie-goos
Game object: You simply pick a character and pull a card. The cards will tell you which road you will take, and how many spaces to move along the way. It’s a gamble really.
Game contents: One cardboard game board, five character pieces, a stack of cards, and collectibles (weapons and supplies like such).
Game setup: Simply unfold the board, set out the cards and character pieces, and gather your friends!
Game play: The eldest present will pull the first card (you have to drill it into those kids’ hard skulls to respect their elders, am I right or am I right?).
Turn sequence: Pull a card, read what it states you must do and follow through with the actions, move your piece and collect any items presented to you along the way.
Special conditions: You can team together with another player so that you stay together until you decide to break apart again. During your teaming up, you have to share items collected. If one of you is killed, your team member inherits all your recent belongings. If you choose not to team up, you can also kill the other member for their supplies (this also give you extra experience points).
Winning: You win by surviving the longest. If you’re the last man standing then you win the game. You can win in a multitude of ways but the main way is by killing other players (like the Hunger Games in a way). You can also defeat the ultimate boss, Crowley, but this a very hard task to go through with. Good luck!
Game play variations: Play how you wish; I’m just the creator, not a fascist government leader.
Tips: 1. Be a hoarder! Keep everything you find on you at all times, it’ll come in handy whether you know it or not. 2. Fortify a base to the teeth! Wouldn’t want anything to happen to all your precious goods, would you? 3. Be on your toes! Anything can happen in a world like this; even the most trustful of people can stab you in the back at any moment.
